Donate Part of Your Estate

Estates of less than $3.5 million are not subject to federal estate tax. However, if your estate is over that amount or will be subject to tax because of your lifetime taxable gifts, charitable bequests may greatly reduce the tax. Any amount passing to FAER through your will entitles your estate to an estate tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the property.

Donate Through a Bequest

It makes sense to continue your support of FAER through your will. You can't make a bequest to FAER, or any other organization or individual, unless you have a will. If you have one, review it periodically to make sure it still reflects how you wish your estate to be distributed. You may need to amend it through a codicil or have a new will written. You can add charitable bequests when you make or amend your will.

Outright Bequest s
This is a gift of a particular amount of money or item of property, for example, "I bequeath $25,000 to the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research."

Residuary Bequests
The residue of an estate is the amount remaining after all specific bequests have been distributed. The exact amount will not be known until the final accounting is completed. The residue may pass as a percentage bequest, for example, "I give one third of the residue of my estate to the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research."

Contingent Bequests
You can name a secondary beneficiary to receive property in the event the primary beneficiary is not alive, for example, "I bequeath $10,000 to my father, but if he has predeceased me, I direct the $10,000 be paid to the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research."

Donate Stocks and Mutual Funds

If you have owned a stock, mutual fund or other security for more than a year, you may be able to donate it to FAER and take a tax deduction for its full market value.

Donate Through a Trust

Through the establishment of an irrevocable trust, FAER can be designated to receive an annual payout from the trust. Additionally, a trust can be created that maintains annual payments to an individual and at the termination of the trust the balance can be designated to a charity.

Donate Through Life Insurance

Life insurance policy donations can be made by naming the charity as the beneficiary of the policy. Usually, whole-life and universal-life policies are donated as these policies have current cash value. However, any life insurance policy can name FAER as the beneficiary.
